Airbus A350-1000

Aerofly FS features a realistic physics and aerodynamics simulation and this aircraft is no exception:

• Full multibody aircraft that bends under load
• Realistic ground physics and physical inertia
• Natural gear compression and damping
• Native wing flex simulation
• Realtime aerodynamics simulation
• Independent simulation of slats, inboard/outboard flaps and individual speedbrakes
• Thermodynamic engine simulation with individual components for compressor, burner, turbines, drive shafts, fan, reversers and nozzles controlled with a full authority digital engine controller (FADEC)
• Detailed electrical network with dozens of electrical buses and hundreds of individual electrical loads
• Realistic simulation of thousands of individual on-board system components

The aircraft features a rich sound set with over 500 individual sound sources, each played from their own location for the ultimate 3D sound experience.

• Highly detailed engine sounds with individual sounds for the turbines, fan roar, exhaust nozzle, bleed air starter, start resonance, idle/mid “whining”, climb/TOGA roar
• Full 3D sounds for cabin and flightdeck air-conditioning, avionics fans and wind, pneumatic air-conditioning kits (PACKs) noise
• APU ignition, spool-up and high RPM sounds and resonance in the cabin
• Avionics bay electric relay switching
• Authentic radar altitude and TAWS (GPWS) callouts (and Autobrake off, pitch-pitch, speed-speed), master caution & warning sounds
• Passenger signs and cabin call
• Flap and slat motor sounds, Gear retraction and extension sounds and wind rumble from extended landing gear and speed-brakes
• Wheel skidding and high speed wheel rotation sounds
• Touchdown and vibration bumps and cabin shake sounds
• Realistic lever, detent, switch, knob, push-button and sidestick sounds

• Fly by wire (FBW) with direct law, alternate law and normal law with flight, ground and flare modes and flight envelope protections
• Direct, precise and very responsive flight controls
• Flap, slat and airbrake protections/inhibits
• Automatic ground spoiler extension after touchdown or rejected takeoff
• Automatic speed-brake extension during emergency descent
• Automatic flap retraction and extension
• Fully automatic pitch trim, even takeoff trim is set automatically like in the real aircraft (manual backup still possible)
• Inboard and outboard flaps can move independently
• Symmetrical aileron droop depending on flap configuration
• Symmetrical aileron deflection to reduce wing bending moments
• Outer ailerons are disabled at high speeds

The 3D model of the aircraft was custom made by our own designers and is of very high quality and accurately represents the real world aircraft both inside and out. A lot of work was put into the details and realistic materials.

• Very high quality mesh
• Highly detailed flightdeck and external model
• High resolution textures and physics based multi-materials
• Full 3D cockpit interior, all levers and switches can be moved, which looks fantastic especially in VR!
• Accurate panel layout, labels and dimensions
• Real-time dynamic interior lighting and exterior lights
• Adjustable display, annunciator and panel brightness
• Tray table can be pulled out
• HUD can be folded up/down
• Windshield wipers move
• Seat armrests can be moved

• Fully interactive cockpit (apart from circuit breakers) with realistic behavior and sounds
• New interactive touch screen displays
• All aircraft System Display (SD) pages
• Head up display (HUD)
• Multi-Function Display (MFD)
• Taxi Camera (Desktop version only)
• Airport Navigation Function (ANF)
• Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), PFD/ND
• Onboard Information System (OIS), Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)
• Electronic checklists
• Surveillance system controls (TCAS, XPDR, WXR, TAWS)
• ECAM warnings, cautions, advisories with procedures
• Display reversion & display swaps (e.g. OIS on center screen)
• Adjustable real-time interior lighting
• Fully compatible with VR and touch control
• Multiple camera views: Captain, First Officer, Third and Fourth Occupant

The aircraft Flight Warning Computers (FWCs) are constantly monitoring the aircraft systems for you and if a fault occurs it displays an ECAM warning or caution with associated procedure (if applicable) but only if the fault is relevant in the current flight phase. Our focus is on giving the user instantaneous feedback when making mistakes to improve situational awareness and to better assist the user with handling this complex aircraft

• Hundreds of individual ECAM cautions and warnings are simulated
• Accurate simulation of the FWC flight phases
• Takeoff and landing checklist as well as T.O and LDG INHIBIT
• Takeoff consistency and takeoff configuration check
• FWC boot sequence
• ECAM status page
• Automatic APU start in emergency

To keep commonality with other Airbus aircraft the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Navigation Display (ND) look almost identical to other Airbus aircraft, especially the A380. The PFD and ND are simulated in great detail and look like the real thing.

• Realistic display and EFIS control panel interactions
• Realistic Flight Mode Annunciation (FMA)
• Improved situational awareness with PFD memo area, pitch trim and rudder trim displays
• Cautions/Warning texts on the PFD and ND, e.g. for approaching runway
• Navigation Display (ND) with all real world display modes, including Zoom for Airport Navigation Function (ANF)
• ND with Vertical Display (VD) and Minimum Off Route Altitude (MORA)
• Taxi Camera (Desktop only)

• All managed/selected lateral and vertical modes (HDG/TRK, LOC/GS, NAV, CLB, DES, ALT CST, ALT CRZ, SRS, RWY, etc.)
• Realistic Autoland (LAND 3)
• Realistic mode reversions
• Automatic emergency descent
• Speed constraints, altitude constraints
